HaIrSpRaY THE MOVIE AUDITION STORIES — Page 3

*cough*

*shuffles feet*

Yeah, I'm kind of assuming that everyone who sent in an application is going to get the email. Still, it won't deter me :) I'm majorly excited about it. I haven't been to New York in a while.

Well I'm sure the 120 lb. typical ingenue types were not invited to audition. I'm sure they went through and sent it to all people who matched their physical qualifications.

actually...dramadork...i weigh 110 lbs and was sent an e-mail. not tryin to argue, just don't ever assume. :)

dramadork~perhaps i'm not going only to audition for tracy. i'm just going to put my face out there and add to my experiences of auditions. like i said earlier in the thread, the more you put yourself out there, the better chance you'll have of being found. and don't worry, i didn't find your comment rude at all. i completely understand where you're coming from. i was just saying that smaller people (not to be rude) got emails, too, or at least i did. so that either means they sent one to everyone or they have something in mind for those that got one sent to them whether it's tracy or member of ensemble, or if they had an interesting nose (lol), whatever the case may be. sorry, i should have made this point more clear. :)

thanks for the encouragement, Bwaybaby109!

and who knows, maybe they'll keep all of our headshots and keep us in mind for future films. i like to open doors and give myself oppurtunities. i've got absolutely nothing to loose in auditioning.

:)

I wonder if they will have auditions in Canada

haha! thanks BrightEyed! I was Little Red! We may do it at my college again next year! yey for Into the Woods! hehe!! That quote rocks like a boulder! and you got me on my optimism. my friends will tell you that i am too optimistic! lol. i cant help it, thats how i get through life.


And as far as auditions go in Canada, it's possible because some of the filming will be in Toronto. who knows!

i dont really believe the "jeans" thing. i have a friend who auditioned for a broadway show and when he went in he had on dark blue jeans and blue converses with like a cashmere sweater on and they gave him the job. he actually looked very nice. i guess the more appropriate thing to say is where what u look nice in, and if u can mix casual with semi formal then go for it. but thats just me. maybe wearing jeans to this audition isnt a good idea.

---

there will be invited auditions in Toronto after the open call auditions in the states.

To add to the jeans thing...I think it is much different for girls...the competition for female roles is MUCH greater than for males..and I could see how a male in a cashmere sweater and DARK jeans would look dressed up. JMO.

And I don't see why it's a problem to audition if you aren't quite Tracy material...because I agree, it's a fantastic learning experience, and as someone else said earlier-they could want you for something else!!.

btw--- GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!! I'd totally audition for...SOMETHING if I was still in the states!!

I wore jeans and a nice sweater to my Hairspray national tour audition and got a callback. They didn't seem to notice or care at all.

I don't have a ton of experience but I have done around 8 or 9 shows, have taken voice for almost 6 years and dance for 5.
